Biography
Peter Hübner was born in Kappeln, northern Germany, in 1939, the son of a shoemaker. Hübner was chosen to carry on the family business and sent to nearby Kiel aged 15 to become an apprentice shoemaker. He began to take evening classes alongside his apprenticeship, and by 21 he had decided to retrain as an architect.
He studied architecture at the Stuttgart Technische Hochschule from 1963 to 1968, and after graduating spent a decade successfully developing prefabricated building systems. This included a high-profile contract for kiosks, staff huts, lavatories and information pavilions at the Munich Olympic Games, 1972.
He became a Professor at the Stuttgart Technische Hochschule in 1979, and has since worked on a number of collaborative building projects with students and other communities. He has also established his own architectural practice, Plus+.
